Holding out upgrading until they give us more customizable times on the self-timer? hehe -- Victor

Very inventive, Charlie. Definitely not something I would have been able to dream up. And lots of fun too. Compliments! Regards ~jnconradie

You realize, I am sure, that the real trick is getting into position, then waiting that last second or two that is still left on the timer, and finally moving just the right amount (during the one second of exposure time) to give the ghost-like appearance. But I was lucky, in that it only took a dozen or so tries to get what I wanted.

By the way, you have "almost seen" that same hat before. I wore it when I took "Abstract in Aluminum," for Challenge #72. Regards to all. Charlie.

This is a fun shot! You look a bit like a ghost here, which is what would happen to me too as I don't have a remote either. Beautiful fall color there! CJ

Very cool. It's like something from a movie by M. Night Shama-Lama-Ding-Dong (6th Sense, The Village, Lady in the Water, etc.).
